Planning everyday activities can be hectic, both in corporate and personal settings. Juggling different duties becomes more difficult without proper scheduling and delegation. The best task management apps fulfill this need by providing platforms that make it easy to schedule and stay reminded about tasks.

Superlist is one of the most creative task management apps. It’s a versatile tool designed for both to-do lists, collaboration, and real-time communication. I thoroughly tested this tool to evaluate its features, user-friendliness, customer support, and other vital criteria. Read on to learn what Superlist offers as a task management solution.

Superlist: Plans and pricing

Superlist is a freemium task management app, i.e., it has both free and paid plans. The free plan is more permissive than most freemium task management apps I’ve reviewed. It allows you to add unlimited tasks and notes, and share lists with up to five people. You also have 500 MB of file storage under this plan.

The Pro plan costs $10 per month, unlocking access to more sophisticated features. It includes unlimited private lists, sublists within your existing lists, artificial intelligence (AI) features, third-party integrations, and 25 GB of file storage. The free plan is great, but the Pro plan unlocks access to many more features that I liked.

Superlist also offers a Pro plan for teams, costing $12 per member per month. It provides all features of the Pro plan and unlimited shared lists for a team.

I consider Superlist’s pricing fair, given the features it provides. It costs more than many task management apps I’ve tested, but it provides more advanced features.

Superlist: Features

Superlist is one of the most versatile task management tools I’ve tested. It features an interactive, user-friendly interface that distinguishes it from most of its rivals. Signing up was a seamless process, and I quickly moved to test its features.

I like that new users get on-screen tips to guide them through the interface. The “+ Create New” button is prominently featured at the bottom, and clicking it allows you to create a task.

You can place a task under a new list or a previously created one. Each task will have a unique title and notes to provide context. For example, you can add images to your task notes. Similarly, you can add videos, bullet points, and paragraphs to the notes.

I appreciate that Superlist allows users to add tasks via voice commands, although this feature is only available to Pro subscribers.

You can send a voice note dictating a task and its deadline, and Superlist will automatically add it to your dashboard. It occasionally provided incorrect details during my test, which was expected for an AI-based system still in its early stages of development. Yet, it’s an impressive feature that I enjoyed using.

I also liked the creative feature of turning emails into tasks. This feature works with Gmail, so you’ll need to first connect your Gmail account. Then, you'll mark emails with the "Superlist" label.

Superlist will convert emails with this label into tasks; the email subject line will serve as the task title, and the email body will appear in the task's details. You can also set Superlist to provide an AI-assisted summary of the emails it converts to tasks.

Task management apps always include reminders, and Superlist is no exception. You can set due dates and get reminders. Superlist will send push notifications to your desktop or smartphone or send alerts to your email address.

I’ve discussed the personal features so let’s now focus on the collaborative features. Superlist supports real-time collaboration with an intuitive interface that makes the process seamless and efficient. It features a chat tool that enables colleagues to communicate quickly with one another.

The chat tool felt like using Slack, a popular business communication app, although it lacks some of its features. You can send voice notes to colleagues or create chat groups to pass on relevant information.

As an administrator, you can invite team members to your lists, and they will be able to view their assigned tasks. You’ll control who can create or edit new tasks. If a permitted team member creates a task, everyone will get notified and receive a reminder on the specified date.

Although its collaborative features are designed for corporate teams, Superlist can also be used by friends or families seeking a shared task management app.

Superlist: Interface and in-use

Superlist has a unique interface among its rivals. Yes, it’s user-friendly, but that’s not all. It feels way smoother to navigate than most task management apps I’ve tested. It has a responsive interface with seamless continuity.

You can access Superlist from your web interface. Alternatively, you can download the app on your desktop (for macOS and Windows) or smartphone (for iOS and Android). This widespread compatibility is a main benefit of choosing Superlist.

Superlist: Customer support

Superlist provides detailed user guides in its Help Center. You can check the Help Center to troubleshoot issues you encounter while using the app.

If you need further help, you can contact Superlist’s support team via email. There is no live chat or telephone support, which I didn’t like, especially considering the tool costs $10 per month for individuals and more for teams.

Superlist: The competition

Any.do is the closest Superlist competitor I’d like to highlight. It boasts one of the most responsive interfaces, matching Superlist’s, and offers a wide range of features for both personal and collaborative task management.

Any.do supports voice commands, although indirectly via integration with Apple Siri. It allows you to convert emails directly into tasks, just like Superlist. Yet, it offers broader third-party integrations than Superlist, making it ideal for corporate use.

I prefer Superlist for individual use and Any.do for corporate use, but they can still work interchangeably.

Superlist: Final verdict

Superlist ranks as one of the best task management apps I’ve tested. It’s a relatively young platform, founded in 2020, so it isn’t as popular as many established rivals. However, it’s a hidden gem that I enjoyed using. It has some drawbacks, such as limited customer support, but the pros outweigh the cons.

How the false notion of "white genocide" traveled from the political fringes to the Oval Office. The week on Code Switch, we're talking to a reporter who was in the room during a meeting when President Trump pushed this conspiracy theory on the president of South Africa.

The action is the latest move by the Trump administration to purge all programs, policies, books and social media mentions of references to diversity, equity and inclusion.
